Newnan, 6
In one of the hottest games of the
season LaGrange defeated Newnan by
a score of 9 to 6, before a large crowd
of fans.on the local diamond yester
day afternoon.
Features of the game were the
home run of\ Jim LaFitte for La
Grange, the throe base hit of Holt
for Newnan, and the two base hits of
Smith, Edmondson and Donalson.
The game was played 'in exactly
one hour and forty minutes. Umpire
for the contest, was a new man on the
LaGrange diamond by the nam? of
Mills.
Although the game was hotly con
tested throughout it was devoid of
any grumbling whatever and the um
pire acquitted himself creditably.
This was the first of a series of
three games, which will be played
in LaGrange this week, with Newnan.
The LaGrange club will have played
the entire week with Newnan at the

Chautauqua to Be

Important Part
Baseball, business and love are
sometimes transacted over the tele-
Mcssrs. Lee Heyman & Co., the
well known department store of West
Point, will erect in the near future..*] Rra P h wires ' The Western Union of
fice is of ton; the scene of the most
tragic tragedies and the most comi
cal comedies. Sometimes its the no
tice of the death of some loved one,
sometimes its a stunning report of
the cotton market and sometimes its
the report that Newnan beat La-
Grange three straights.
Its all a wonderful thing. It would
be worth the price of admission if
one could interpret the little ticks
and just sit and listen to the electri
cal conversation here lit the lueal

its against the rules to divulge the

Unit and Majority
Plans Explained
Atlanta, May 28.—For the benefit
of Georgia voters who dk> not clearly
understand the difference between the
county unit- plan and the popular ma
jority plan of primary elections, the
following explanation has been offer
ed, in view of- the wide discussion
throughout the state on the respec
tive merits of the two.
The county onit plan , means that
each county votes within itself as a
unit, and that the candidate wining
the election irt’ that county shkll sOnd
twice as ■ many delegates to ((he* state.
Mr. R. M. Langston
Visits LaGrange
Mr. k. M- Langston, traveling
freight agent for • the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, makes LdG-fange oc
casionally on his rounds and this
week happened to be one of the times
that he stopped at the city of E. &
R’s.
Mr. Langston has made a number
of friends in Ladfange, who are glad
to extend to him welcome whenever
the “Air Line” blows him this way.
Mr. J. E. Dunson informed a re
presentative of The Reporter late last
night that the contract for the new
school building was let yesterday af
ternoon to Pike Bros, at a figure of
between $26,000 and $27,000.
Mr. Durtson stated that if the
building was built a certain way it
would cost $26,200, while if built
another way it would cost $27,000 and
for this reason the exact figures
could not be given.
Work will begin on the building at
once, and the contractors state that
it will be impossible to have it ready
by the beginning of the fall session
but will hare it completed during the
early part of the term.
The plans for this building were
drawn by Messrs. Chas. W. Carlton
and Paul Clark, architects of this city,
.they having secured the contract for
the wdirk several months ago, when
t>lansl vtare submitted to' the board of ;
Education at a meeting at the court '
house, by several architects from dif
ferent parts of the state.
Thd new school building will be con
structed on the extension of Gordon
street, A short distance from the
Troup County Fair grounds.
Received Game
( / by Each Play
By the courtesy of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company the report of
the baseball game between LaGrange
and Newnan was given out with each
play, here at the court house yard as
the game progressed at Newnan,
Wednesday.
The way it wa3 done, was a man
was stationed at the phone at the
Newnan diamond and was given a di
rect connection with a temporary
phone in the court house yard. Each
play was called out and recorded on
big sign hoard. If all was mighty
funny until the man at the phone hol
lered “Newnan 7, LaGrange 3.”

One of the most exciting events
(that, has happened in LaGrange in a
long time was the runaway of a horse
belonging to Hugh Killingswofth, a
negro, which took place oh the square
'before at least five hundred specta
tors, Wednesday afternoon.
The horse was hitched to a light
spring wagon and in some way be-
icame frightened near the southwest
/corner of the court house.
It was just after the baseball mat)-
inee in the court house yard, where the
game between LaGrange and Newnan
was 'called out from the reports over
phone.
A large crowd of people were mak
ing their way home when the horse
became frightened and made a run
ning break for the east side of the
square. So great was his speed that
he could not stop before crashing into 1
the plate glass window at the front
of Bradfield-Hutchinson Company's
store. The glass was shattered, and •
the horse was severely^ut and stun
ned.
In a few seconds he backed out of
the window and with only the shafts
attached to him made a break down
Hines street.
He slipped right at the crest of
the steep, paved hill and succeeded in
stopping suddenly again when he
crashed into a telephone pole at the
front of the old “Jim Valieri” shoe
shop. The shafts were left at the
foot of the pole and the hofse was
caught a few minutes later at the
foot of the hill.
Blood was streaming from the neck
of'the animal, when he ’ wak led back
to the square, but he marvelously es
caped breaking anj'.'^rones in his, fall*., -
